Their can be another line which is straight line perpendicular to x AXIS passing through 6.

A certain computer program randomly generates equation of line is form of y=mx+b.If point p is a point on a line generated by this prog, what is probability that line does not pass through ABCD.
a)3/4 b)3/5 c)1/2 d)2/5 e)1/4
The thought was this:

Any line passing through the point P which is at 6 on the x axis will pass through one of the 4 equal dotted regions (except x axis). Out of these, lines passing through 2 of the regions are not acceptable (red lines) while those passing through other 2 are acceptable (green lines).
Hence, 1/2 of the region is fine.
Probability that the line does not pass through ABCD is 1/2.
